"In order to be happy oneself it is necessary to make at least one other person happy."  

💜❤️💜❤️💜

You are thinking about me.. right..?!.. His rigid voice made her to flip her face towards him..

She blinks her eyes at him abruptly, where he stood leaning over the table which was a few distance away from her..

He lifts his brows at her.. And she stood glaring at him immediately..!..

Don't crush your brain thinking on me Miss. Pragya Arora.. Abhi says walking near to her.. While she stood gasping her breath.. As he neared her, she takes her bag and holds it close to her..

Abhi settles over the chair, that was opposite to her.. while she still stood ogling at him..

He gestures her to sit, but she stood still.. He sighs tiredly and says in a low tone.. I'm already dropping out of my spirit.. If you stand like this, then I too have to stand with you..

As soon as he completes, she settles back at her place and Abhi smiles widely at her by stretching his lips..

I know you are wondering about me and my presence around you from yesterday, right..?.. He asks and she just sat quietly listening to him.. While he continued.. Let me tell you.. I'm Abhishek Mehra.. doing PG 1st year in Business Management.. completed my UG in this college only.. And as you know already, I'm the Cultural Secretary of the college.. As like you, even I'm a pet to Stella Mam.. because she was my elementary school teacher.. Abhi says with a reserved smile and continues further.. And when I saw her here as a professor, I was shocked.. But she pampers me alot..

A short smile creeped her lips, when she heard his kiddy tone.. While he continued further.. So, now.. Let me tell about you, which I got to know from Stella Mam..

I used to hear your name from Stella Mam often.. She always keeps praising you in front of me.. She tells that, you are a top brained student of her carrier so far.. and she has high hopes on you.. Also, I know about the new Scholarship Sponsors who are now gonna select students by evaluating their talents in this cultural competition.. So, I discussed about this to Stella Mam.. and the first priority she had was on you only.. She said that, she will make you to participate in this.. And after yesterday's incident.. I was so worried about her.. I didn't want to disappoint her trust on you..

I was literally shocked on that so called General Secretary's sister Meetu.. who is your classmate.. So only, I pestered you alot to enroll your name.. But you didn't listen to me.. And finally, I went to Stella Mam.. She asked me to enroll your name and fill your form.. She helped me on finding your records from the students gallery.. I filled the form.. But I was in need of your signature.. So, I came to your class.. But saw you and your friend in the class alone.. And I had no other choice, other than to listen to both of your conversation..

I heard your silly worries and Nisha's pesterings to drag you to attend the meeting in auditorium.. So, I thought to surprise you by announcing your name in front of everyone, especially I wanted to annoy that Meetu desperately.. But you shocked me by not coming there.. And then, your friend Nisha came up to me and enquired.. And of course, you know what all happened after that..!..

He completes and winks at her.. The first word she spoke to him was.. Thank you so much Senior.. Only this I can say in return..

Abhi sighs at her and says.. Come on Pragya, I don't know what is your worry.. But I want you to win that trophy and make that Meetu lose.. Yuck..!.. I just have started to hate that name too.. How on earth, she is roaming with this much attitude and her high status, my foot.. How do you even tolerate her, I don't know..!..

All the while, she was calmly dropping her ears to him.. He flips back and looks towards the door.. And then at his watch..

How long you will stay here..?.. He asks and she looks at her wrist watch.. She closes the book in a hurry and takes her bag..

Are you leaving..?.. He asks.. She nods to him.. Shall I drop you..?.. He asks again.. She widens her yes and shook her  head as no immediately..

Fine.. But how will you go..?.. Abhi asks and she says.. By bus.. Hearing to her, he stands up as well as she..

They walked out of the library together.. While Abhi started again.. Where is your house..?.. She flips to him saying.. I live with my Chacha and Chachi in their house.. My parents died when I was a kid.. I have a younger sister..

Haan.. I got know that from your records.. Also, your grade.. Good.. I wish that, you should get that scholarship.. Says Abhi..

Thank you Senior.. Pragya says.. Why do you call me like that..? Just call me as Abhi.. He says..

But, everyone calls you like that only nah..?.. Pragya asks him.. No, that's for others.. For you I'm Abhi.. He replies quickly.. She gives him a timid look along with a squishy smile..

They walked out of the campus together, where Abhi was pulling his bike along with him.. and they parted ways from there, after waving bye to each other..

!¡!¡!¡!¡!¡!¡

At Present..

She was munching her food unwillingly.. She looked towards the empty living hall.. Her attention went towards Robin who was walking inside a room, that was under the stair case..

"That must be Dadi's room..".. she strikes..

After 2 minutes, she saw Robin walking out of the room.. back with the food plate..

Robin.. She called him.. and he walks towards her.. Your Sir didn't eat..?.. She asks and Robin says.. Yes Mam.. He said that.. .. he pauses looking at Pragya who sighs at him.. I'm sorry di.. Sir refused to have food and asked me not to disturb him.. She gasps hearing to him and gestures him to leave..

"He is still the same.. I should speak with him and tell him everything.. But how..?..".. Musing her tensions, she stands up and leaves to the room, which she is alloted to stay in..

Grabbing a piece of paper from the drawer of the bed side table.. She pens something quickly and steps downstairs..

She looks at the room, where he is.. She walks towards it.. and slides the door slowly.. She inserted her head in and saw him lying over the bed and he was facing the opposite side.. She sighs with relief and walks in taking her baby steps.. She places the paper over the pillow that was next to him and took the photo frame in which Dadi and his pictures was.. She places the photo frame over the paper and lifts her foot by leaning towards him and confirmed that his eyes are closed.. She walked out quickly and closes the door..

After 20 minutes..

Did he read the chit..?.. She wandered here and there on the terrace mumbling her words.. Her eyes fell on the spherical moon.. She leaned over the wall and kept glaring at it..

With Abhi..

He flips himself over the bed and his head dashed with the photo.. He takes the photo frame and saw his Dadi.. The paper chit traced his cheek.. He lifts his head and takes the paper..

He was first  dazed to see her hand writing and then, he read her words slow and steady..

"My heart filled Sorry to you.. I will not say that, your anger is lame.. Because more than you, I know that I'm worth of it.. As you said, I'm truly your deceiver.. Though, I had always shared each and everything of mine only to you.. And I beg you to just listen to me once.. I have only you to share with.. Please Abhishek.. I will be waiting for you in the terrace..!.. Please come for your fuggi.."..

He sits over the bed immediately and reads her words number of times.. He steps down and races towards the terrace immediately..

!¡!¡!¡!¡!¡!¡

Back to Past..

Next day, early morning at 5 pm..

Sandy pulls the coverlet close to his chest and Abhi pulls it back.. This is my last warning.. Wake up soon.. Abhi sounded in a portent tone..

Sandy slides to the other side and within a fraction of second his face got wet with water, which was poured by Abhi.. He gasps and shouts loud opening his eyes..

You are insane Abhi..!.. He says wiping the water droplets away from his face..

Abhi giggles at him and says.. It's because of you.. I had no other choice.. better fresh up soon and get ready.. We are already late..

He flips to see the alarm clock that was beside him and sounded spiritless.. Do you really wanna do that Abhi..?.. 

Of course, I'm sure about it.. Abhi says tieing his shoe lace.. But it's so early.. at this time..?.. Asks Sandy..

Only then, we won't be get caught.. Come let's go soon.. Says Abhi.. Sandy stands up and Abhi arranges the floor bed properly.. He folds the coverlet and sips the tea by looking at a piece of  white paper..

After 20 minutes..

Abhi kicks the kicker of the bike and Sandy sits behind him by holding Abhi's bag in his hand and his bag was hung over his shoulders..

Abhi rides the bike towards his college and stops the bike in few distance to the college gate.. Sandy steps down and gives his bag to him.. While Abhi takes the bag and hangs it over his shoulders.. He pulls the bike ahead along with him and Sandy looks around to make sure that they are alone..

Abhi parks the bike behind a tree and looks at Sandy.. He jumps and clutches the compound wall.. while Abhi too did the same.. They jumped together to the other side and looked around once again..

They ran into the campus.. They stood in front of a door and Abhi unlocked the door.. While Sandy checked to their either sides..

Abhi.. make it fast.. Sandy says and Abhi slides the door slowly.. They stepped in slowly and closed the door.. Walking in further, they saw the huge room and all the racks at the side of the wall.. Abhi walks straight towards the rack, where on top of which, it was written as Football..

Abhi forwards his hand to Sandy, who hands over a key to him.. Abhi unlocks the door of the rack and opens the door.. He searches for a file and flips to Sandy with a victorious smiles.. He grabs a file and they two walked towards the bench, that was beside them..

Abhi pulls the white paper out from his bag and gives it to Sandy.. Who places the paper into the file and takes another paper out of the file.. Abhi looks at the paper with a sniggering smile and Sandy places back the file into the rack.. He locks the door of the rack and then they locked the door of the room as well.. They rushed towards the terrace of the building..

Abhi takes the match box out of his pocket and sets the paper in fire.. And Sandy drops the burning paper down over the floor.. They gave hifi to each other..

Sandy gives Abhi a quick hug and parts away saying.. That was absolutely thrilling Abhi.. I'm so eager to see his face.. when he sees that paper.. And I'm sure his suspect will be on us..

Who cares, I'm not scared of him.. I saw him  exchanging the players list.. And how dare he to remove our names..?.. I first thought to complaint about him.. But, then this idea bumped into me.. Abhi says..

But Abhi.. What if he exchanges the list again..?.. Sandy asks.. and Abhi says.. He can't.. I heard from his friend that he won't be coming to college toady and tomorrow.. And day after tomorrow is the list announcement.. He replies.. He looks at the watch, which showed him 7 am..

Fine, you go and get the bike inside.. By the time, the security would have opened the main gate.. And jump over the compound wall.. If you go out through the main gate.. He will suspect you.. I will go to ground.. Let's do a small practice.. We have time.. Says Abhi.. Sandy nods leaves the place..

Abhi takes the ashes of the paper and looks around to dispose it.. He walks to the edge wall and looks down.. He was about to drop the ashes down, but jerks back immediately..

Was that Pragya..?.. He murmurs and again peeps down.. But she wasn't there.. Was that my hallucination..?.. He murmurs again and turns to leave downstairs.. But stops looking at the ashes in his plams.. He looks around and his eyes fell over the water tank which was on a corner.. He quickens his steps and disposes the ashes in the water by turning the tap.. He sighs and wipes his sweat drops from his forehead and runs away from. The terrace to the ground floor..

She looks all around to confirm her presence.. And finally he saw her sitting on the floor with her legs hung down.. and a book her over her lap, while her bag was lying beside her..

He takes his steps slowly and stands behind her.. He kneels down and closes her eyes with his plams.. While she lurches her head back by sitting straight..

A few seconds of silence prevailed.. Abhi pressed his lips and her fragile fingers traced his fingers softly..

Senior..!.. She tinges her voice in a low tone.. While Abhi was shocked hearing to her..!..
